lyrics

Laying face down in a hospital bed
Got an embolism poppin like a dark sunset
Now it's IV fluids and a dark red sweat
Cause everybody wants my money

Family's in the waiting room shufflin cards
Now it's two to the dealer cause it won't be long
The nurse's finger's on the button
And the doctor's playing god
Cause everybody wants my money

All you bastards are stuck in my will
My body's jerkin back and forth
I can't afford a decent meal
My body's jerkin back and forth

When I was 13 I was a rodeo clown
When I was 14 I was a rodeo clown
When I was 15 I ran the whole fuckin place
Now everybody wants my money

They grow up wicked and they grow up fast
And your grandkids learn that you got a little cash
So you stuff it in a mattress and you buy a bigger gun
Cause everybody wants my money

The last thing I remember was spittin on a cop
I blew a 9.0 at a traffic stop
Then he recognized my face so I bought the fucker off
Cause everybody wants my money

I grew up in a life of fame
Hookers in my lap, hookers on the brain
Now tell me what would Jesus do I bet he'd do the same thing to
Got a catachrestic theroy that this thing is gonna work
I'm on a graveyard shift shovelin dirt
And my family wants to know how much I'm really worth
And they take
And they take
And they take
And they take
And they take
And they take
And they take
And they take
And they take

Later that evening yeah I gave em all the slip
I'm in Mexico City on a cardiac drip
And the service here is awful so I never leave a tip
Cause everybody wants my money
You gotta stomp your hands
Clap your fists
You gotta keep your heart pumpin just so you can stay rich
I gotta golden parachute so you can suck my dick
Cause everybody wants my money
